Hartford law firm Day Pitney LLP says it will expand its Florida presence following a merger with a veteran firm located in Miami and West Palm Beach.

Day Pitney, which has nearly 300 attorneys in Connecticut, Boston, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C., announced plans Tuesday to merge with Richman Greer P.A. Financial terms were not disclosed for the deal expected to be completed Jan. 1.

The combined company will retain Richman Greer's current offices in southern Florida under Day Pitney's name.

Under the merger, Day Pitney, which has seven attorneys at offices in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, will add 15 attorneys to its Florida network.

Founded more than 55 years ago, Richman Greer is known for handling "complex business disputes and commercial transactions" for individual clients and corporate and governmental entities, the Day Pitney said.
